Church Notes: 12thC(?) church -- listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00084472]: "L'église dépendait autrefois d'une maison de refuge, prieuré détaché de l'abbaye de Roncevaux. Les pèlerins en marche vers Compostelle s'y arrêtaient. L'édifice fut élevé vers le début du 12e siècle : le choeur et les deux culs de fours absidiaux datent de cette époque. La première travée de la nef, bâtie en même temps, eut ses voûtes exhaussées sans doute au milieu du 12e siècle. La façade et la travée attenante ont été remplacées par des maçonneries modernes."
